Coventry 1 Cardiff 1: Jutkiewicz earns a point for the Sky Blues

The warm feeling produced by a first point in four games vanished in a cold blast of reality for Coventry fans when manager Andy Thorn admitted he is powerless to prevent striker Lukas Jutkiewicz moving to Southampton.

Jutkiewicz, whose 60thminute equaliser was his seventh goal of the season, could even be on his way to the Championship leaders this week if cash-strapped Coventry accept a loan deal followed by a permanent move for £3million in January.
